Top Things to do in Costa Blanca
The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Costa Blanca, Valencian Country
Costa Blanca is the name given to Alicante's coastline in Spain, which stretches over 200 kilometers. It is an incredibly popular holiday destination for tourists, because of the marvelous weather and beaches. Costa Blanca is family friendly, thanks to the huge range of activities available there from beaches and golf to museums and parks. There are the beaches, such as Los Náufragos in Torrevieja with its volleyball nets, golden sands and Blue Flag status, or smaller beaches like Serragrosa with its crystal waters, ideal for swimmers. But there are also golf courses (particularly the Villaitana club de golf near Benidorm) and watersports facilities and cultural sites like museums and galleries, such as the La Asegurada Municipal Museum in Alicante which has extensive collections of Spanish art. You will need a couple of weeks on the Costa Blanca just to scratch the surface of its entertainment potential.

Took the trouble to have a day out to visit the old town for the first time on my third visit to Benidorm. I absolutely loved it wandering through the narrow streets and boulevards stopping at various venues for drink or two a complete more relaxed way to enjoy Benidorm and for me and I am sure for many a hidden gem that will have me returning for a longer stay in fact a weeklong stay here is very much on the cards later this year
